This is absurd. Your theories are opposite of NTSB. The damage was caused by the high rate of descent due to very low speed below 100ft which could not be arrested. If speed was correct proper flare was possible resulting in less ROD. If protection was not there speed would have continue to drop further and at stall warning the push to prevent stall would have increased the rate of descent even more causing more damage.
